Our verdict

Dreame takes the opposite approach to the RTK field: map the garden with LiDAR and ignore satellites entirely. That is a real advantage under dense tree cover, where RTK machines lose their fix — and a real limitation on wide open ground, where satellites are the more precise reference. Fits through 600 mm gaps.

Pros

  • LiDAR mapping is unaffected by tree cover or building shadow
  • No antenna and no wire to install
  • Passes through 600 mm gaps

Cons

  • No satellite positioning as a cross-check on large open lawns
  • No edge cutting
  • No GPS tracking

Best for

  • Gardens under heavy tree cover where RTK struggles
  • Plots with narrow passages between areas

Not recommended for

  • Large open fields where satellite positioning is more precise
  • Owners who want theft tracking
